You guys are so paranoid...the people who have $2,000 in Empire are more worried than the people that have $20,000 or more. The only thing i'm worried about is whether we'll get rakeback on Party...

Nothing and I mean Nothing is 100% certain. Always keep your exposure to a minimum. I do not feel safe when my money is in the bank either but still I keep some there...

Hi Havana,

The point of my phrasing was to counteract the paranoia on the forum. Yes, nothing is certain, there is some very small percent chance (i.e. < 0.001%) something could happen, but for all intents and purposes your money is safe.

It's just frustrating to me the position some people are taking to promote the doom and gloom without thinking things over. Sure, things aren't as good for the skins as they were a week ago, but they are still making money. It's a setback for them, but it's not the end of the world by any stretch. They will take steps to bring in new players just like they were doing before this happened and just like before it happened it will continue to work.

Currently, there are over nine thousand people playing on the skins network (myself included), and I personally think those numbers will go up at least somewhat over the coming weeks as things stabilize. Those numbers put the skins network as a solid player in the industry (we essentially have a "big six" instead of a "big five" now...or perhaps a "big five and a half" depending on how you want to look at it). In addition, this network has two major sportsbooks attached to it which only helps to add to the network's stability/legitimacy.

Long story short, (unless things change drastically for the worse) the network is not going anywhere and player money is safe.

FYI. Having some concern about this I cashed out $2,000 last night from Empire. The money was in my Neteller account by this morning.

FWIW, I still have a little money left at EP. I am still deciding whether or not to withdraw the remaining funds.

I also made a cashout from Empire asap, and the money is already in my NeTeller account. I tried to cash out from eurobet but at that time the cashier wasn't working. By the time I could move my money from poker to sports, I was a bit calmer and I don't worry so much so I think I'll leave it there since I'm going to play on eurobet either way.

I'm not worried about my money at party. Even if I were I wouldn't cash it out right now since I'm not far from clearing a bonus, that would break my bonus.

So to sum it up, I'm not very worried, and I don't think EP would have taken my money had I left it.

I only left $1.50 at Empire so I'm not too worried.
